Summary of Jon Frederickson's The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We all have experienced and been overwhelmed by the pain of life. We seek help, thinking we are wrong when our lies are wrong. We wonder if we are broken when our lies are breaking, allowing our feelings to emerge.

#2 When we avoid what we need to face, we suffer the symptoms that bring us to therapy. We can’t bear the pain of life alone, so we seek help from others. But we need not seek anything because our feelings, our anxiety, the lies we tell ourselves, and even the truths we avoid are all here.

#3 We must embrace what is here, what is happening, and what we are feeling. We must stop running away from our feelings and what provokes them. To heal, we must embrace reality and our feelings about it.

#4 Everyone who needs healing has a story of heartbreak, loss, and feelings so painful that we can’t finish our journey. To finish this journey, we seek a person to help us go the rest of the way.
